Chewing Gum After Meals for Acid Reflux? Here’s Why It Actually Works!

Описание: When I tell my clients that chewing non-mint gum can actually help with acid reflux, I get a lot of surprised looks.

But here's the thing—it really works, and it's evidence-based! 🌱

Chewing sugar-free gum after meals has been shown to significantly reduce acid reflux symptoms.

A study found that chewing gum for just 30 minutes after eating helps reduce the time stomach acid spends in the esophagus. The magic comes from increased saliva production, which naturally neutralizes acid and helps soothe the esophagus.✨

But that’s not all—this simple act can also help with deactivating tissue-bound pepsin. While it doesn’t directly deactivate pepsin, saliva helps wash it away, potentially reducing its harmful effects.

A few things to keep in mind:
✅ Always choose sugar-free gum—we don’t want to risk tooth decay.
✅ Mint-free is important too, as mint can sometimes make reflux worse.
✅ Listen to your body: Some might find this super helpful, others may not—pay attention to how you feel and consult your healthcare provider if needed.

This small, easy change could make a big difference in how you feel after meals.
